A dashboard camera in a state trooper's car has captured the dramatic
moment a father taking his children on a road trip pulled out a gun and
shot an officer who then returned fire and killed him.
John Van Allen, 34, was driving with three of his children when he was
pulled over on Interstate 84 east of Portland, Oregon by Trooper Matt
Zistel, 26, for speeding.
But what was supposed to be a routine traffic stop soon escalated into
violence when Van Allen emerged from the car and, despite Zistel urging him
to get back inside, pulled out a gun.
The dramatic footage was released to The Oregonian after a public
information request from the paper following the August 29 death.
Oregon State Police Thursday released a dramatic video showing the gun
battle that unfolded in August on Interstate 84 about 100 miles east of
Portland, ending in the death of a Portland motorist.
The freeway confrontation lasted only moments, according to the patrol car
video from the Aug. 29 episode. The video, released to The Oregonian after
a public records request, starts as Trooper Matt Zistel stops a Cadillac
driven by John Van Allen, 34. Allen had three of his children with him that
afternoon as he pulled over near Biggs Junction.
The video shows Allen stepping out of his car and assuming a military pose.
After Zistel repeatedly tells him to get back in his car, Allen pulls a
pistol from his waistband, advancing on Zistel and firing. The video
doesn't show Zistel.
After shots are fired, the video shows Allen returning to his car and
driving off. He was shot in the chest but the video shows no obvious
injury.
Zistel radios, "Shots fired" and then moments later, "I've been hit in the
side. I'm okay."
Responding officers found Zistel suffering a gunshot wound. They found
Allen's car a half mile down the freeway, parked on the shoulder. Allen was
dead, shot once in the chest.
Zistel was treated for his injury at a hospital in The Dalles and released.
He has been on administrative leave. Zistel, 26, has been with the agency
five years.
In a subsequent investigation, Sherman County District Attorney Wade McLeod
concluded Zistel was justified in shooting Allen.
Relatives said Allen was returning to his native South Carolina at the time
of shooting. They said the aggressive action was out of character. He moved
to Portland from Pittsburgh. He served in the U.S. Army Reserve as a
construction engineer from 2009 until 2012.

2 women in bikinis given body cavity searches on the side of Highway - "Up my private parts?!"

BRAZORIA COUNTY, TX -- Two women had the inside of their crotches searched
on the side of the highway, thanks to the dutiful enforcement of tyrannical
drug prohibition laws.
Officers pulled the women over for speeding on their way home from the
beach. Of course, traffic stops are just the excuse a good enforcer needs
to begin fishing for reasons to throw people in cages.
After finding a small amount of forbidden plants in the vehicle, officers
weren't satisfied. They wanted more. The two women, dressed only in
bikinis, were told they were going to get an internal body cavity search.
"Are you serious," Brandy Hamilton asked the trooper.
"If you hid something in there, we're going to find it," said the trooper.
"You're going to go up my private parts?!" Hamilton said.
"Yes ma'am."
The women say that the same glove was used to violate all of their
orifices.
There are truly no limits to the amount of terror and tyranny that are
created by the fascist Drug War that plagues the country.
Brandy Hamilton and Alexandria Randle are suing the officers involved.
